To the world, they are SM Entertainment's golden duo.
Y/n is a globally renowned solo artist and Hollywood actor, a charismatic superstar who conquered the industry at a young age. Yoo Jimin-known to millions as Karina, the untouchable center of aespa-is his ultimate grounding force. Since their grueling days as trainees in 2016, they have been inseparable. To the fans, the executives, and the media, their bond is the ultimate, unbreakable platonic friendship.
But for eight years, Jimin has carried a devastating secret.
She has been entirely, hopelessly in love with him since she was sixteen years old.
Trapped in the agonizing role of the "reliable best friend," Jimin has spent her entire youth standing in his shadow. She smiles for the cameras when he is linked to beautiful actresses, offers her shoulder when the pressures of fame become too heavy, and silently bleeds out in the background, terrified that confessing her true feelings will destroy the most important relationship in her life. She is perfectly resolved to suffer in silence if it means she gets to keep him.
To Y/n, completely oblivious to the war being fought right beside him, Jimin is simply his anchor. She is his safe harbor in an industry designed to tear people apart. He relies on her with a fierce, protective devotion that he fundamentally misunderstands, entirely blind to the fact that his casual affection is slowly breaking her heart.
But the middle ground is a dangerous place to live. When a high-profile Hollywood PR stunt pushes Jimin to her absolute breaking point, she makes the desperate decision to pull away and save herself.
As the distance between them grows and the foundation of his life begins to crack, the oblivious golden boy is finally forced to open his eyes. And when he does, a decade of carefully constructed lies threatens to unravel completely.

Closer to U (Karina x Male Reader)
Every time I pull away, I can't seem to avoid getting closer to you. Lee Y/N is a mystery-even to his own team. A relief pitcher who rarely practices, rarely plays, and never stays. He hides everything inside: his past, his limits, his wanting. Especially his wanting. Karina is known by the world. The face, the voice, the performance perfected. But behind the idol, there's someone who recognizes a mask when she sees one-because she wears one too. How would their orbits collide? One ceremonial pitch. One perfect throw hidden behind a careless one. One man who leaves before he can be left. She should forget him. He makes sure of it. She doesn't. And Y/N, who spent years learning how to disappear, finally meets someone who refuses to let him. A story about: the courage to stay and accept, even when you know the cost. Content Warning: Medical condition, anxiety, childhood trauma, discussions of mortalityConcluida
Red Wire
Some threats are meant to scare people. Others are meant to send a message. After a series of anonymous bomb threats begin targeting major K-pop events across South Korea, the government quietly launches a covert operation to prevent public panic before the industry collapses into fear. Y/N, a bomb disposal specialist known for his cold precision and silence under pressure, is assigned undercover inside SM Entertainment as a technical risk consultant. His mission is simple: protect aespa, identify the source of the threats, and stop the next attack before thousands die. But inside the exhausting cycle of rehearsals, sold-out arenas, flashing cameras, and sleepless nights, the operation becomes far more complicated than expected. Especially when Karina starts noticing things no one else does. The way he memorizes exits before entering rooms. The way he watches crowds instead of performances. The way he never looks relieved after surviving. And somewhere between near-misses, late-night rehearsals, and the quiet moments neither of them were supposed to keep, the distance between protector and protected slowly begins to disappear. As the threats grow closer to becoming real attacks, the line between duty and attachment begins to blur. And while Seoul prepares for its biggest year-end festival, someone behind the scenes seems determined to turn every step of the investigation into a countdown. In a world built on performance, survival might be the most dangerous role of all.Concluida
"Nothing But You" (Kazuha x Male Reader)
Some people are meant to cross paths only once. Others are destined to find each other again. Years after going their separate ways, fate gives them a second chance. They're no longer the same people they once were-dreams have changed, scars have formed, and the distance between them feels greater than ever. Yet, with every conversation, every shared silence, and every step forward, the pieces they thought they'd lost begin to fall back into place. Love doesn't arrive all at once. It grows quietly, patiently, until one day they realize that no matter how far life has taken them, it has always led them back to each other. Because in the end, through all the noise, there was... nothing but you.Concluida
The Road Between Us (Eunchae x Male reader)
Y/N Huh has always lived between two worlds. Growing up in America as Huh Yunjin's younger brother, he watched his sister chase her dream of becoming an idol while he found his own passions away from the spotlight - music, choreography, and the underground world of cars. After graduating, Y/N finally moves to Korea to reunite with the sister he has not seen in years. Staying with Yunjin and the members of LE SSERAFIM, he expects to simply adjust to a new country and start his own life. But Korea brings him something he never expected. Hong Eunchae. The youngest member of LE SSERAFIM who once knew him as "Yunjin unnie's little brother" slowly begins seeing the person behind the quiet personality, the music, and the black 2013 Scion FRS that holds years of memories. As their friendship turns into something more, Y/N's hidden world begins to surface. Behind the calm smile is someone who spends nights chasing freedom through illegal street racing - a secret that could hurt the people who care about him most. Between idol schedules, family bonds, love, and the choices that define who he wants to become, Y/N must learn that freedom does not mean running away. Sometimes, it means finding someone willing to sit beside you.Concluida

Deciding to keep the misunderstanding going until he can surprise his sister properly, Y/N unexpectedly befriends one of IVE's members-Liz. What starts as an innocent misunderstanding slowly grows into late-night conversations, quiet walks home, shared laughter, and feelings neither of them expected. There's only one problem.

The Person I Never Told ( Kim Chaewon X Male Reader)
Kang Y/N was never someone who wanted attention. While others chased dreams, fame, and recognition, he lived a quiet life built around routine. Wake up. Work. Protect others. Go home. After losing the only family he had, Y/N learned how to survive alone. The only things he kept from his past were the lessons his father taught him - discipline, control, and the strength to protect those who cannot protect themselves. During his final year of high school, a simple night working at a café changes everything. After stepping in to help a woman during a dangerous situation, Y/N catches the attention of someone from HYBE who sees something in him that even he doesn't see. Soon, Kang Y/N finds himself entering a world he never imagined being part of. The world of idols.

He protects them when things go wrong. He remembers the little things everyone else forgets. But every time the day ends, Y/N disappears. Because behind the calm expression, quiet voice, and endless patience is a past he refuses to share. To the members, Kang Y/N is the person they can always rely on. But they don't know the truth. They don't know why he lives like he has nobody. They don't know why he trains alone late at night. They don't know why he never talks about his family. And they don't know that the person who built a home for them... Never had one himself. As Kim Chaewon and the members of LE SSERAFIM slowly get closer to the mysterious manager who always puts everyone else first, they begin to uncover the story of the person behind the silence. A story about loneliness. A story about healing. A story about finding a family when you thought you lost yours. Because sometimes... The person who says the least is the one carrying the most.Concluida
NO CHEMISTRY Karina x Male Reader
When South Korea's most acclaimed young actor, Y/N, and the nation's top idol, aespa's Karina, are cast as co-leads in a massive tvN prestige romance drama, the internet collectively loses its mind. To the public, it's a brilliant crossover pairing guaranteed to sweep the ratings. To the production crew, their on-screen chemistry is so intense and visceral that it feels entirely unscripted. But when the cameras stop rolling, the temperature on set drops to absolute zero. What the public, the paparazzi, and their own friends don't know is that Y/N and Yoo Jimin share a deeply buried history. Eight years ago, they were inseparable best friends in the quiet suburbs of Bundang-until a single, panicked phone call on the eve of her SM Entertainment audition destroyed everything. He said something unforgivable. She built an empire out of spite. They haven't spoken a single word to each other since. Now, trapped in a relentless filming schedule that demands whispered confessions, longing gazes, and romantic blocking, they are forced to confront the wreckage of their past. As the undeniable tension between them begins to blur the line between performance and reality, Y/N must figure out how to apologize to a woman who refuses to look at him, and Karina must decide if her eight-year grudge is a shield protecting her heart-or the only thing keeping her from the one person who truly knows her. They say they have no chemistry. But lying to the cameras is easy; lying to themselves might be impossible.
REFRAIN (Jihyo x Male Reader)
At seventeen, the system decided he wasn't good enough. After three brutal years as a trainee at JYP Entertainment, Y/N packed his bags, flew back to Chicago, and spent the next decade pretending Seoul never happened. He rebuilt his life from the ground up, becoming one of the industry's most respected vocal producers. He made his peace with the past. He just never went back to the company that broke his heart. Until now. Hired as a vocal consultant for TWICE's highly anticipated new album, Y/N returns to a brand-new JYP headquarters. He prepares himself for the ghosts of his past, only to find the old building where he suffered has been demolished. The cramped hallways, the terrifying evaluations, the midnight piano sessions-all gone. The only thing that remains from his trainee days is the woman standing on the other side of the vocal booth glass: Park Jihyo. For ten years, they have lived on opposite sides of an ocean. She is the titan who survived the machine to lead the nation's biggest girl group; he is the boy who left without saying goodbye. But as professional boundaries begin to blur in the quiet intimacy of the recording studio, Y/N is forced to confront the gap between the girl he left behind and the woman she has become. Refrain is a slow-burn story about the weight of lost time, the silence we leave behind, and what happens when two people who survived the exact same system finally stop running.Concluida

I'm Fearless | Chaewon x Reader
He hasn't made music in years. She's a former idol trying to find her place in the world. Both of them are lost in their own ways, until they meet. Between late-night songs, long texts, and walks along the Han River, they start to rediscover themselves through each other. But as their paths forward begin to take shape, they realize that navigating the pressures of their careers, and growing up along the way, might be harder than either of them expected. ! Hi this is my first story ever. It'll be a fluff story about a male reader (but I try to keep it as gender neutral as possible so hypothetically it could be a female reader!) and a blooming romance with Kim Chaewon. It will probably be a slow burn ish story without too much drama. More slice of life style :) Hope you enjoy! - - - - - Peaks: #1 Chaewon #1 KimChaewon #47 sliceoflife #7 lesserafim #87 kpop
"Eyes Closed" (Yunjin x Male Reader)
There's something 'bout the way your mind works It might be how you're looking at the world It's deeper than your looks and your curves There's something 'bout you I can feel it in your heart I can hear it in your tone I can see it in the dark Even with my eyes closed, you're beautiful I can hear it in your words And it feels so good, it hurts Even with my eyes closed, you're beautiful I wish you could see what, see what I'm seeing Feel what I'm feeling I can feel it in your heart I can hear it in your tone I can see it in the dark Even with my eyes closed, you're beautiful
STATIC BETWEEN US - (Ningning x Male reader)
"Every song she performs... might already be connected to him." A long-lost connection. A hidden legend behind the industry. A voice she keeps hearing without knowing why. He was never supposed to be seen - only heard. She is an idol shining under global lights, while he exists in the shadows shaping the very stages she stands on. When Ningning starts noticing a familiar producer tag hidden inside songs and choreography she performs, memories she buried begin to resurface. But the industry doesn't welcome ghosts from the past. Especially not ones that shape the present. And especially not when someone else wants to control the future she belongs to.Concluida
